 And when the pye was open'd,

the birds began to fing,

And was not this a pretty difh

to fet before a king?

The king was in the parlour,

counting o'er his money

The queen was in the kitchen,

eating bread and honey;

The maid was in the garden,

laying out the clothes,

Up came a magpic and bit off her nofe.

The Song of

The Cat and the Fiddle.

SING hey diddle, diddle,

The cat and the fiddle,
